Acuta Standard GPS Antenna Part No. A10415 Product Specification 1 Features • GPS antenna designed for embedded applications • Small size and light weight 0.5g • High performance • Upward hemispherical RHCP pattern • Simple matching circuit tuning • Works in many different positions in the device • No extra mechanical support required 2 Description Acuta GPS antenna is an innovative high performance GPS antenna designed to replace ceramic patch antennas, reduce development costs and improve time-to-market all without compromising performance. The very slim A10415 allows a substantial reduction in the minimum thickness of the host device compared to a solution using a ceramic patch antenna. Acuta is intended to be mounted at the edge of the host PCB facing the sky, in a similar way to a conventional patch antenna, which generates an almost hemispherical radiation pattern towards the sky - achieving optimal GPS performance. Acuta GPS antenna is intended for reception of GPS signals at 1575 MHz and is easily tuned using a simple matching circuit on the host PCB, allowing the same antenna to be used in different devices without physical modifications. The antenna is soldered directly onto the host PCB, without the need of expensive coaxial cables, RF connectors or mounting frames, significantly reducing the total BOM of the GPS solution. The antenna uses a ground plane in order to radiate efficiently, which should be at least 30 x 30 mm. 3 Applications • Portable Navigation Devices PNDs • GPS Trackers • Mobile phones/ Smart phones • Notebooks / Tablets / eReaders • M2M Integrated Antenna and RF Solutions Product Specification 11MD-0041-2-PS 4 Part number Acuta Standard GPS Antenna Part No. A10415 Acuta A10415 Bottom View 5 General data Product name Part Number Frequency Polarization Operating temperature Impedance with matching Weight Antenna type Dimensions LxWxH Acuta A10415 GPS - 1575 MHz Linear -40 ºC to +85 ºC 50 Ω g Metal x [mm] Effective x [mm] Total 6 Electrical characteristics Bandwidth Typical Peak gain Linear Average gain Linear Average efficiency Linear Peak gain RHCP Average gain RHCP Average efficiency RHCP Maximum Return Loss Maximum VSWR Typical performance Reference Board A10415-U1 30 MHz at dB Return Loss dB 60% dB -3.9dB 40% -10 dB 2:1 Conditions All data measured on Antenova’s reference board, part number A10415-U1 Data given for the MHz frequency range Integrated Antenna and RF Solutions Product Specification 11MD-0041-2-PS Acuta Standard GPS Antenna Part No. A10415 7 Electrical performance 7-1 Return Loss with matching circuit 5 [dB] mtool5 -10 2 Marker 1 1565MHz Marker 2 1585MHz -25 1200 1300 1400 1500

2 Description

Acuta GPS antenna is an innovative high performance GPS antenna designed to replace ceramic patch antennas, reduce development costs and improve time-to-market all without compromising performance. The very slim A10415 allows a substantial reduction in the minimum thickness of the host device compared to a solution using a ceramic patch antenna.

Acuta is intended to be mounted at the edge of the host PCB facing the sky, in a similar way to a conventional patch antenna, which generates an almost hemispherical radiation pattern towards the sky - achieving optimal GPS performance.

Acuta GPS antenna is intended for reception of GPS signals at 1575 MHz and is easily tuned using a simple matching circuit on the host PCB, allowing the same antenna to be used in different devices without physical modifications. The antenna is soldered directly onto the host PCB, without the need of expensive coaxial cables, RF connectors or mounting frames, significantly reducing the total BOM of the GPS solution.

The antenna uses a ground plane in order to radiate efficiently, which should be at least 30 x 30 mm.
